Some sewing and shopping
I still ahve trouble with my arthritis, but now a more "normal" genreal pain, rather than swollen joints (except the bones and tendons in my left foot). On Monday I will start working again, but I have started a little today with grading. I am so behind at work so it is less stressful to have some of that done. Actually I probably ought to be off work for another week, but that would make things very,very complicated with a few of the courses that I teach.
I can sew and read and I can take walks, but I have a hard time focusing on intellectual work and lecture planning because of pain.
Yesterday I had another SCA sewing meeting at home and it was really nice, even if there was a short while when I thought that some people were triggering each other into complaining about people in the SCA, so I tried to steer the conversation into a more constructive discussion about feelings, and I think that I was successful.
I also helped Mattias to cut out a red woollen surcoat and even did some sewing myself. I am reworking a gown that I made for Visby medieval week 1999 - my 15th century Visby :)
I might wear it on St. Egon's Feast next weekend. I may even wear a mi-parti Gothic fitted dress from velvet that I made in 1998 for court, depending on if I have the time/inclination to fix the sleeves.
But I have also finished most of my new Saxon court gown, which I probably will wear at Spring Crown in three weeks time. This is how it looks without sleeves or brustfleck.
The shopping: I also got up early-ish and took trams to another part of town to be there when a certain second hand market opened. Because just before I went to bed I saw that they had posted this chair on their facebook page, and I didn't want to miss it. Sicne it's foldable I could also take it with me on the tram home, but it took its toll on my sick body. Still worth it though.

And despite your pain (BOO) you look lovely in your Saxon gown.

They are rather rare here too, this is the first one I have seen in a second hand store. That's why I really had to get up early and go outside in the rain to get it.
